Before the accusation from a Catholic group, which has triggered an investigation by the District Attorney´s office in relation to one of the artistic creations exhibited within the context of the artistic festival TransMarikaBollo (TransFagDyke), taken place in Barcelona in September 2006, of a Gay, Lesbian and Transsexual (GLT) theme, for its supposed offense to religious sentiments:
We manifest that the objective of the above mentioned Festival is one of fostering free artistic creation and the construction of gender, and in no case whatsoever of offending any religious sentiment.
We consider this accusation to represent a great assault against the right of freedom of expression, a threat to artistic and cultural creation and a complication in the exercise of civil rights.
We consider that in a secular and democratic state, the questioning of the lawfulness of certain artistic and cultural expressions of a GLT theme mean an unacceptable restriction of freedom of expression.
Consequently, the people, collective groups, and institutions below, in signing, appeal to the firm commitment of the defence of freedom, and avoid that accusations such as this one, which we perceive as an offence to the rights of the collective of GLTs, can prosper.
